Mila is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

She's from Mississippi.

Mila is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. She’s a 4-1/2-year-old, 36-pound, female, Jack Russell Terrier / Smooth Coated Collie mix.

Mila’s mom was a stray in Mississippi. She was taken to a sanctuary where she had six puppies. They were transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS.) Mila was adopted right away, now returned after almost four years.

Her family says she needs a home where there will be someone with her most of the time. She doesn’t like being left alone. She also might like living with another dog to keep her company.

The $145 adoption fee for Mila includes medical exam, spay, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if her new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society.
